And the winner of the "first part I probably should have saved from the Catalina but didn't know I needed" will be this bumper filler piece (though it may not be on the US cars). Does anyone know what it's called, if I have any shot of getting news ones?
My black car (pictured) has them but they're actually a little beat up, so I assume they're not easy to find?
I'm talking about the piece of rubber between the bumper and the front fender edge!
I'll have to look at the pile of stuff I have from the 69 I took apart for the chassis. I don't recall having them, they likely ended up at the metal recycler along with the fenders.
Does anyone know if they're on the US cars? I can't help but think I would have grabbed them off the Catalina when I did a last "Is there anything I need pass" but maybe I just missed them. But since we have special fenders, maybe we have a special filler too?
All US and Canadian fullsize cars had them. They should be easy to find as they typically don't deteriorate. Try Franks. I think they are called fender to bumper fillers.
